I really dislike the No intentional grounding rule

This is what I don't agree with. The rule is the same for everyone. If a guy is more athletic and can move, that is his athleticism giving him an advantage, not a rule.

I thought the rule was made to protect quarterbacks.
Quarterbacks that are less athletic are more at risk.
Therefore the rule protects the guys that need it the least.

So it's the rule that's providing the protection, not the athleticism? I don't agree.

So let's change the rule the ball has to go out the end zone or 50 yards past the line of scrimmage. If you have the arm to chuck it around 60 yards you get to avoid the sack. If you're rolling out and can't throw it that far you get sacked. A QB's athleticism in a "safety rule" should not give them an out or hurt the D more.

Ok while we're at it lets change the high hit above the shoulders rule to not apply to guys under 5'10 because the current rules favor shorter receivers like a couple of the Cardinals WR. They are already lower to the ground so the current rules offer them more protection than a 6'4 guy and they shouldn't be able to use their size to their advantage.
